Single Img Blog

Entity is organizing or participating in tables, debates, and events that will begin on 10/11 and will continue until 20/11

The Revolusolar delegation is already at COP30, in Belém do Pará. The focus of the agendas in which the entity will participate will be to bring proposals that place the peripheries at the center of the climate agenda, ensuring that the expansion of renewable energies takes place in a responsible, inclusive manner and with real benefits for those who need them most and suffer from them.

The delegation is attended by Graziella Albuquerque (director of Institutional and Governmental Relations); Adriano Paraíso (director of People and Communities); Sara Hins (Project leader); and Dinei Medina (president of the Percília and Lúcio Renewable Energy Cooperative and ambassador of Resolusolar). During COP30, Revolusolar will actively participate in the climate meeting, both organizing meetings and debates and participating in meetings held with partner organizations.

By bringing the peripheries to the center of discussions, with local representatives, data and research, Revolusolar expects that renewable energies will grow with responsibility for their environmental and social impacts; energy communities will be an active part of the transformation; and that energy generation will bring autonomy, income and professional training.

The panels that the organization will participate in will address topics such as “Climate, Culture, and the African Diaspora” untilAccess to energy in Latin America: expanding inclusive and just solutions”; also acting in debates such as “Unlocking Community Financing for Clean Energy and Small Green Businesses in Emerging Markets”; and “Brazil's Innovations for Universal Access to Energy”.
